50 Best Cafes near Kirkwood

“One of the best coffee homes in town. Home because of how cozy + welcoming the atmosphere + employees are without fail. Also experts at being involved in their community.“

“It is a relaxed environment. Always fast courteous and friendly service. The only thing that I did not like the last time that I was there was the fact that I could not find a way on the get up and go paying system to change the amount that I had entered for the tip. It is possible that I missed it. I did look repeatedly and did not see a way to go back and change the amount of tip that I entered without totally backing out of the program and going back in. I just figured a dollar was not worth the stress. All I wanted to do was add $1.00 to the tip amount. Oh well.“

“Really enjoyed my meal and service was excellent Highly recommend!“

“We had a great time playing with the cats and kittens. Go see them they are wonderful and well taking care of.“

“I came in on a day where it was REALLY busy and a lot was going on. Luckily, I had time to sit and wait for my food. I had ordered ahead and Linda and Kat at the front were was trying to help me find my food. Then, Jacquelyn came over to speak with me and hesitantly told me it could be 15-20 minutes. Told her it was no problem and I had my NYT games to play. She offered me a free drink while I waited, apologized profusely, and checked in whenever they were working on my order. It was a hectic day but the customer service was doing a great job.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff in Washington locations! I love their coffees.“

“We love going to Mauhaus. The cats are very well taken care of and it shows. It's a nice relaxing area to hang out with kitties, have some good coffee and a light pastry. We recommend to all of our friends.“

“I went here yesterday to try it out, I love an independently owned coffee shop! Fantastic! Great menu with interesting drinks, they do decaf so I got a dulce de leche and it was delicious, not overly sweet. Next time I was to try the Ethiopiacchiato (I think it’s called). Very kind welcoming service. Nicely decorated, great music selection…. Vibes all around. I think I might make it a biweekly work space.“

“Friendly service, delicious food!“

“Brew & Bites Cafe made a strong first impression with its great food and inviting setup. Even though it was very busy during my visit, everything was nicely displayed, and the place clearly has a lot of appeal. I ended up ordering food to go, and the breakfast burrito was outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had.

There is definitely an opportunity to improve the experience with additional staffing and more available seating, especially during busy times. Still, the quality of the food made the visit worthwhile, and I would absolutely recommend Brew & Bites Cafe to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot in St. Louis.“

I had a medicinal mushroom coffee tasted great and had me feeling great all day.“

“Living Room has THE best coffee and breakfast in St. Louis. But that’s just what gets you in the door. What keeps you coming back are the amazing staff, inviting vibes, excellent work stations (for those of us who wfh but need to have people around), and community engagement. Seriously, they have the best cortados, seasonal drinks, and bacon. But they are also vegetarian and vegan friendly and have a great selection of teas and other drinks for weirdos who don’t drink coffee. I love knowing that visiting LR means my money is going to a family-owned small business who invest in their community and put people over profit. 10/10.“
